The eastern side of Hastings street within Greater Vancouver which runs parallel to the Burrard Inlet. East Hastings is most famous for being possibly the dirtiest place in Vancouver, if not all of Canada. It's frequently the target of many inside jokes among British Columbians, such as "Your momma works on East Hastings". Prostitution, drugs, drunks, and scum are what occupy East Hastings, all part of the Vancouver downtown eastside.
